Language agnostic all-pair testing
We have used PICT as a tool to successfully minimize the amount of testcases while still being reasonable confident to have most cases covered.
the reasoning behind all-pairs testing is this: the simplest bugs in
a program are generally triggered by a
single input parameter. The next
simplest category of bugs consists of
those dependent on interactions
between pairs of parameters, which can
be caught with all-pairs testing.1
Bugs involving interactions between
three or more parameters are
progressively less common2, whilst at
the same time being progressively more
expensive to find by exhaustive
testing, which has as its limit the
exhaustive testing of all possible
inputs.
